Apparently Warhammer 40k now has tons of new video games, but I haven't checked any of them since Dawn of War 2.
Are any of the new ones good? Regardless of genre.

Mechanicus is kinda neat but pretty simple.
Space marine is excellent but disappointingly short and will never be concluded.
I've heard good things about the Battlefleet Gothic games but I've never played them myself.
The rest suck ass.
Josiah Hughes
Space Marine is pretty okay, it's a bit basic but it's the best shooter 40k has produced.
Battlefleet Gothic is well-made, but requires you to really be into a slow-moving ship playstyle heavily focused on micromanagement, it's very niche.
Gladius is basically Civ but it doesn't do Civ as well as Civ does.
Dawn of War III is hot garbage.
Eternal Crusade made big promises and failed at all of them due to incompetent development.
Regicide is pretty simplistic, lacks depth and I wouldn't pick it up unless you absolutely love chess and the 40k aesthetic and are just looking for something casual.
IIRC, Mechanicus was pretty decent.
There's also Chapter Master which is a FREE mod for Interstellar Army Simulator 2015 and is good if you're a huge autist.
That's all I know of. Nothing particularly amazing, just some fun little diversions and some outright bad games. In other Warhammer Fantasy news, Vermintide IS good if you live in the right place, and Total War Warhammer 1&2 is okay, as far as TW games go, worth a pirate but not a purchase.

>Chapter Master
Fucking criminal what GW did to it
Jace Scott
Oh, and if you don't want to spend thousands on tabletop 40K models and time painting, but like the idea of it, then you can also mod Tabletop Simulator to play that. Of course, need people to play it with.
Matthew Roberts
no
Blake Martinez
Yeah but it's still out there in various forms iirc, just gotta go hunting through discords and such and ask people.
Ian Jones
BFGA2 is incredibly fun and good
Mechanicus is good
Deathwing is ok
Ian Thompson
Not a single worthwhile 40k game has been made since DoW2
Jonathan Lopez
Is there still some development going on, or are you talking about the old unfinished version?
Liam Barnes
>Deathwing is ok
Isn't that the one with terrible AI?
Yeah I was talking about the old one. I don't think any development is continuing, unless some blessed neckbeard is doing it themselves with the source, in which case it might be worth having an ask around in discords and such
Juan Reyes
>since DoW2
I reinstalled it again and tried to give it a 10th shot
God damn is it so fucking awful in everything. Not even Retribution shit makes up for the unpleasantly weak effects and merry go round gameplay. Strategy is void in this shit
Aiden Clark
I played Enhanced Edition and it was really cool, although lacking in content. Seems they were going for something more in depth but stopped halfway. IT's good as a crawler shooter. Wortha playthrough.
Josiah Allen
Ultimate Apocalypse mod for DoW1 is great
Alexander Gomez
Logan Howard
Deathwing is a rough diamond buried in a shit-heap of dysfunctional UI, bad net code, and generally unfinished mess. The gameplay is kino if you get the hang od it, but only 9 maps (and 10 spec missions), it is not very varied.
Kevin Wood
Mechanicus is great,
Sanctus reach is great,
BFG 1 is good, 2 not so much,
Armageddon is good,
Titanicus is good so far,
Gladius is ok, it plays like civ without diplomacy.
Others i have not tried or are okayish at best
Jeremiah Torres
>Sanctus reach is great
>titanicus is good so far
can you tell me more about these ones?
Josiah Richardson
you're forgetting 40k Armageddon

Jesus Christ, is it even possible to be more wrong? Vermintide's developers are blithering retards who have no idea what their own game is about, while CA has literally been adding every single thing that has existed in Warhammer Fantasy to TWWH over the years.
Ian Baker
I'm still waiting for a Darksiders like HH game where you play as primarchs.
>L-LET ME DOWN YOU FUCKING FURFAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Wyatt Lee
Yes the best one is called "Terra Vis Defensionis V" where you play as an Assault Marine and get rid of the filthy Xenos invasion, which may appear as giant ants, frogs or comedically generic flying saucers due to psykers distorting your mind.
Jack Diaz
WE ARE THE IMPERIAL NAVY
Nicholas Long
Don't forget Space Wolf which turned out to be a surprisingly decent game despite mobile origins.
Eli Lopez
considering Primarchs are almost immortal it probaly wouldnt be properly difficult
Wyatt Perry
out of all the primarchs I think only vulkan is a perpetual

You're siting there, minding your own business when this guy flies up to your flagship, slaps her on her ass and then stealths away.
What do you do?

Notice I didn't say "2".
Vermintide has an excellently crafted melee system, great sound and voice acting, decent visuals, and is a satisfying L4D-style co-op game. Its only real flaw is lack of players in less populated areas.
>while CA has literally been adding every single thing that has existed in Warhammer Fantasy to TWWH over the years
Yeah but they charge you a million fucking dollars for the privilege, hence why it's much smarter to pirate. Also their AI is garbo and sieges are lazily designed.
Just adding a variety of obscure stuff that's in 40k doesn't automatically make something a good game worth the money. That's a Reddit mentality.
I would take a well-made and well-priced game about stock standard Empire troops over an overexpensive and flawed game which features an obscure faction prominently. That's why Tau Warrior sucked.
You don't spend money on a game solely because "OMG LOOK IT'S THE OBSCURE THING THAT NEVER GETS MENTIONED!!!"

I still play Inquisitor Martyr, last expansion fixed everything
Was thinking about a huge 40k game last week as well, but you can't fit everything inside it GTA style... need to be free roam campaigns, telling the stories for you "hold you hand" or things get too big like space fighting (boarding, ship destruction, exploring space?) planet fighting (rts style?, open world?) then politics and factions... geez too much.
